"Top" SEO Firms Paying For Falsified Ratings

As all of us internet marketers know, you can always buy your way to the top rather than working for it. If one were to search for for "search engine marketing" you would likely see news on "top seo companies". The problem with this is that many companies have been buying up press releases and blasting them across the internet claiming fake awards.

This makes one wonder a bit when you consider how exactly does a person go about making such a decision as to who's search engine marketing company is really the best. If you are to browse around the internet and start digging a little bit deeper you will soon find that companies are paying 3,000 - 6,000 dollars or more to be ranked in the top. Despite these fake awards many people are still heavily relying on low-life companies who have bought their rank instead of earning it.

Another problem is that there are currently no regulations or prevention methods of stopping this crafty form of advertising.

Who is releasing these fake awards?

- Gold Line

- topseos.com

- promotionworld.com

"But Gary, how do I know who's real and who's not?"

- Check to see if their domains are black listed

- search for their company name and see if there are any reviews that show up

- Ask your friends for recommendations

- Give them a call, tell them what you want, get a quote, and compare prices.

How to Appeal a Dishonorable Discharge

A dishonorable discharge from any branch of the military is a shameful action that can scar a person's reputation even after he passes away. You can appeal a discharge, for yourself or a deceased relative, although reversing the ruling can be incredibly difficult.


More articles......


Step1
Find out whom to contact to begin the appeal process for a dishonorable discharge. Each branch of the military has a separate appellate court system to handle these cases. If your discharge was handed down as a result of a court martial, then your case will automatically go to one of these courts before the final ruling.


Step2
Begin the appeals process as soon as possible. After 15 years have passed from the date of your discharge, you'll have to file paperwork with the Board of Correction for Military or Naval Records to try and change the ruling. Expect to wait several months or longer to receive a date for your appeal.


Step3
Review your discharge case and find a way to prove that you or your relative were unrighteously given the dishonorable status. Courts will rarely change the ruling unless there is new evidence that proves an internal error or foul play against the service person.


Step4
Upgrade your re-enlistment eligibility code (RE) if you successfully changed your discharge ruling. As an honorable discharge, you should now have the option to re-enlist in the services, although this detail varies by branch.


Step5
See whether you can get other veteran's benefits once your status has been changed. For example, the Veteran's Affairs Office often provides services to anyone who left the military for any reason other than a dishonorable discharge.


Step6
Find a military lawyer to help you appeal your case. Remember that your dishonorable discharge may make it difficult to enlist the services of a military lawyer, so be sure that you can present her with feasible reasons for why your case should go forward. Civilian lawyers with military experience may be your best bet for helping you successfully appeal your case.

How to Appeal Any Case

So you went to court, put up a good fight but lost anyway. Don't give up yet. Whether it's a traffic ticket, a small claims suit or a civil action, you can always appeal. Here are some tips to help you appeal any case.

http://www.freewebtown.com/howtodothing/legal/3.htm#2


Step1
Review the record. If there was a transcript of your court case or hearing, request a written copy. Look it over for any errors. It is possible that some objections the judge or decision maker overruled were incorrect or some evidence was admitted without proper foundation. Appeals must usually be based on errors of law.


Step2
Research the rules for appealing your particular matter. There will be different procedural rules governing the appeals process depending upon the type of case you have. Familiarize yourself with these rules to ensure you don't miss any important deadlines or fail to follow proper procedure for appealing your case.


Step3
Draft the appeal. State clearly the reasons why the decision was wrong relying on the errors you identified when reviewing the transcript. Don't stray outside the matters dealt with in the previous case or hearing. Explain, clearly and in detail, why the decision was wrong based on the record and exhibits at hand. Finish your brief by asking that the previous decision be overruled or the case remanded for further proceedings.


Step4
Follow any additional instructions given to you. After filing your appeal, you may have to appear in court to argue your case. Often, the opposing party will file an opposition to your appeal and you will have to respond to the arguments made against you. Follow all instructions given to you by the court or whatever body is deciding the issue to make sure you don't miss any important court appearances or deadlines.

How to Allow Your Child to Be Emancipated

A child becomes emancipated when he or she lives independently - usually with parental consent - and a court agrees that this is appropriate.


Step1
Understand that when a child becomes emancipated it means the parents are no longer in control of the child. The child has legal standing as an adult.


Step2
Know that the legal standards for how to become emancipated differ greatly among the states. Consult a lawyer or online law source for state-specific information. Generally a child is emancipated when he or she lives independently and handles his or her own affairs and a court agrees that he or she is mature enough to handle it.


Step3
Recognize that there is a difference between a child running away or moving out and becoming formally and legally emancipated. A court decree of some sort is involved in a formal emancipation. Usually there is also some sort of implied or direct consent by the parent.


Step4
Realize that in some states, even if your child becomes emancipated, you will be required to pay him or her child support.


Step5
Attempt to find another solution before consenting to an emancipation. Allow your child to live with another trusted family member or seek assistance from a therapist. Once an emancipation has occurred, you cannot change your mind.


Step6
Think about whether you are facing a temporary problem or a long-term lifestyle change. Temporary disagreements will be solved or forgotten. Long-term problems need long-term solutions.


Step7
Be sure you understand that by consenting to emancipation you are giving up all of your rights as a parent to guide, control or legally intervene for your child.

How to Adjourn a Trial Date

Are you expected to go to trial but the date selected is not good for you? Do you have something crucial going on that day that requires you to postpone the trial? Are you or a member of your family ill and not able to attend your trial? It happens. Here are some suggestions of how to properly adjourn a trial when you are representing yourself.


Step1
Since mediation precedes a trial, if it is determined at that point that the issue needs to go to trial, make it clear to the mediator what days are not good for you so that your trial will not be booked on those days.


Step2
If you receive notice from the court that a certain day has been scheduled for your trial, and it is not conceivable for you to attend court that day, you need to immediately notify both, the court and the opposing party (their lawyer if they have one), of the need to adjourn to another day. This needs to be done in writing and can be sent by mail or via fax but it should be done as soon as possible.


Step3
If an emergency arises on the day of trial, then you need to phone the other party early, if possible, and ask them to agree to adjourn the matter, and also if they would bring it in front of the judge and ask for it to be adjourned.


Step4
If you can t reach the other party to tell them about the adjournment request, then you need to attend the court, speak with them about your need, and then ask the judge if you can adjourn to another day.


Step5
If you are unable to attend court to ask for the adjournment yourself, then you need to send someone in your place, and this person will speak with the other party and to the judge.


Step6
If you cannot get anyone to stand in for you and it is impossible for you to attend court yourself to adjourn the trial, then you need to phone the courthouse and explain your situation so that they are aware of it. Then, send a letter in writing to both, the court and to the other party (their lawyer if they have one) and express your apologies and state your reason for your non-attendance.

How to Address a Judge in Court

Are you going to court for the first time and have no clue how to address the judge? Do you stand, sit, go up to the bench, smile or frown, call him "Sir?" If you have a lawyer, he or she can answer all your questions, but if you are representing yourself, you might want to review these suggestions.



Step1
Go to the court office and tell them which court you will be attending and ask the clerk how should you address the judge for that court. Is the judge called Your Worship or Your Honor so that you can address them accordingly.


Step2
When your case is called, come forward to the counsel tables. The court clerk will direct you as to which one you should be at.


Step3
When you speak with the judge any time at all during your proceeding, you need to always stand up.


Step4
Never argue with the judge.


Step5
Never interrupt when the judge is speaking.


Step6
If you need to make a point, stand up and ask the judge if you could please speak. If the judge allows it, then say what you have to say. Never just start talking at will.


Step7
Never raise your voice to the judge, or to the counsel because it is an act of disrespect.


Step8
If you need to leave the courtroom, make sure you bow first to the judge, and then walk out. This is an act of respect to the Court.


Step9
Do not chew gum or candies when speaking with the judge.


Step10
If you do not like what the judge has to say, never question their decision. Instead, go to the court office afterwards and get an instruction booklet on how to deal with the decision, or seek legal advice from a legal representative.

How to Add a Deck and Not Break Zoning Laws

The process of adding a deck in your backyard seems difficult enough before you consider zoning laws. New additions on private property need to be cleared with your city's zoning board before construction begins. By learning the process of obtaining a zoning permit, you can add a deck and avoid breaking zoning laws.

Step1
Create an inventory of all the materials that will be used in your deck to make sure you do not break zoning laws. City codes concerning non-toxic building materials and proper disposal of scraps should be considered in your attempt to get a zoning permit.


Step2
Sketch out the dimensions, shape and appearance of your deck before you submit your application for a permit. In order to ensure that you do not break zoning laws, you need to follow this initial sketch through completion and allow building inspectors to access these documents for final review.


Step3
Apply local laws regarding proper drainage and other add-ons to your new deck to ensure that you do not break zoning laws. You can speak with your general contractor about properly diagramming and describing these add-ons in your application.


Step4
Pursue approval from neighbors sharing your property line before you add your deck. The support of neighbors who see your deck as an improvement on your property can go a long way toward gaining support for your permit application.


Step5
Seek a variance on zoning laws for your deck if your community does not allow the creation of new structures on residential property. A variance is an exception written on your zoning permit that allows you to complete your deck.


Step6
Measure the height and visibility through fences and bushes that surround your deck. Most communities possess zoning codes that create a balance of privacy for property owners and sound design for the rest of the community.


Step7
Snap a few photos of the area in which you want to add a deck as part of your application. Zoning officials who review your request for a permit may need to determine whether a frost wall is necessary and whether the potential for flooding exists due to the new construction.

How to Prepare for a Deposition

You may be called to testify at a deposition, even if you are not involved in a lawsuit. If you are a party to a lawsuit, your lawyer should prepare you for the deposition. However, if you are representing yourself or if you are called as a witness, you will benefit from knowing what to expect and how to behave at your deposition.


Step1
Remember a deposition is part of litigation. Under most circumstances, your deposition has been scheduled as part of discovery. This means your testimony is being used to learn the facts related to the action.


Step2
Be aware that attorneys for the parties will be present at the deposition. The parties to the litigation may be present. The attorneys will ask the questions. The parties are not allowed to ask questions during the deposition.


Step3
Be prepared to swear to tell the truth during the deposition. A court reporter will be present at the deposition. He or she will take down everything that is said during the deposition and will probably administer your oath.


Step4
Pay attention to the attorney taking the lead at your deposition. He or she will give you instructions about the deposition. Listen to the instructions carefully. If you do not understand anything the attorney says, stop the attorney and ask for clarification.


Step5
Listen to the questions being asked. Take time before responding. Think about the question and make sure you understand it before answering. If you do not understand the question, ask the attorney to clarify or rephrase the question.


Step6
Say I do not know or I do not recall in answer to the questions if that's the truth. If you do not know or do not recall the answer, say so.


Step7
Leave when the attorneys are done questioning you.
